THE SECRET To Getting IMMEDIATE Results With The Curly Girl Method
The Curly Girl Method is something that varies so much from person to person. Some people get results after a few weeks, and some don't get them until 6 months later. I'm going to tell you the only secret you need to know to get immediate success.
I've broken this into 2 simple parts.
1. Research Research Research!
The first step to success is doing A LOT of research. This can be anything from products to techniques to routines. This step works even better if you do it before you start your CG journey so you have a solid plan!
2. DO NOT Research!
Now before you click off because of the MASSIVE contradiction, just hear me out. Once you've done all your research and have done a few wash days, you want to stop researching and watching videos. This is not just for the fun of it, it's vital so you can develop your own techniques instead of copying someone else. Do you catch my drift? I learnt this only about a month or two after starting the CGM. I was wondering why I didn't get volume and beautiful curls, and it was because I was copying other peoples routines. Once I forgot about that and just experimented, doing what I thought my hair would work best with, I got AMAZING results, specifically in regard to the application of products.
I hope this really helps you as much as it did for me!
I imagine being states, continents, and even worlds apart but still remembering you, being you halfway around the world someday
siempre estás en mi mente
back to school
i know, i know, i’m a little bit early. it’s all good, i have anxiety, i plan ahead constantly. i figured i’d share some of my plans to prepare myself for heading back to school.
1. fix your sleep schedule
for school i wake up at 6:30, in the summer i wake up at 12. and recently i decided to fuck that up even more by pulling an all-nighter and just, in general, screwing up my sleep schedule. i’ll need about a month to fix all this damage, but in general, you should start reacquainting yourself with your school schedule about two weeks before you have to head back.
2. figure out your note keeping system
i’m switching things up this year, and i won’t be using the binder system i’ve had all throughout high school. it’s simply to heavy for my walk to and from school. instead, i’ll be using a filing folder, and keeping loose leaf paper, as well as the week’s lessons in there, and once the week is over, i’ll transfer my notes to the binder system at home, which should limit the weight i carry. also, this’ll force me to have better organization, and hopefully make weekly review easier. just as a rule of thumb, refreshing your note keeping system is something you should do annually, at the start of a new year or even before a new semester; you know what’s been working and what hasn’t been.
3. gather breakfast ideas
i have about ten minutes scheduled in my morning routine during the school year for breakfast. and about five of those minutes are spent figuring out what to eat. i want to gather simple breakfast ideas that i can test out now, so i don’t waste time deciding what to eat. this just, in general, makes mornings less of a hassle and can help make sure you’re getting a good start to the day.
4. take stock of your supplies
i need a lunchbag and highlighters, my previous ones are no longer able to function, so i need to replace them. i don’t, however, need new pencils, i have plenty. doing an inventory check can really help prevent buying duplicates of something you thought you didn’t have.
5. create achievable goals
this year is my final year of high school, and then i’m off to university, most of my goals centre around applications and just graduating. but there are other things i know i need to do. embracing study habits for one. i’m hoping to do so by staying in the library after school instead of walking home right away because i know i can’t get work done as effectively at home. i’ll also be doing a review for exams all throughout the year, instead of the day before, by creating flashcards and mindmaps for each days lesson. set a general goal, then add the steps you’ll need to take to achieve it.
6. check your courses
i’m dropping out of physics because i don’t need to be taking it and it will give me a spare instead of a full course load. i need to talk to my guidance counsellor before school starts because of it. as well, i like to make sure i’m in the correct classes and that my schedule is as balanced as possible. some schools may not allow this for regular students, mine does. make sure you’re taking what you need to take and what will allow you to succeed.
7. put dates in your planner
my school offers a tentative list of events going on through the year, with set exam and break times. i like to keep track of these, and setting them in my planner makes it easier to see how my year will play out. if your school doesn’t offer this, check out past years scheduling so that you have a general feel for how your year will go.
these are just some of the things i’m doing to ensure this year goes smoothly for me. let me know what y’all are doing too!
so your last semester wasn’t great.
we’ve all been there fam. in fact my previous semester was not great either – i got kicked out of my university’s honor program. You need a 3.5 cumulative GPA to stay in, and because of a lot of different circumstances, I finished out with a 3.48 – which is, frankly, better than i deserved. But this semester I’m gonna get a 4.0 and reapply. So here’s how ya do it.
1. have a good first day.
a big mistake is to go balls-to-the-wall discipline on your first day. Fuckin… relax, dude. Wake up as early as you need to be ready, but don’t push yourself to be up at 5am or anything like that. Set our your stuff the night before so you can have an easy morning. Treat yourself to a good breakfast or just get that fast food you’ve been craving for lunch. It’s really important not to stress yourself out too much, especially after your last semester kinda sucked, and it’s VERY important not to let yourself automatically associate school with negative emotions like fear and stress, because that will paralyze you down the line when things get more difficult closer to exam season, etc.
2. don’t be afraid to drop
when going to all your new classes, really seriously evaluate your ability to succeed in a class with that time slot/professor/etc. last semester I had a quantitative reasoning class that was part of our core curriculum – the professor was NOT good at their job, did not teach us the material, and frankly showing up to that class was a waste of my time. What i SHOULD have done was DROP THE DAMN CLASS the first week, and taken it the next semester with a better professor.
3. limit other activities at first
your first couple weeks of the new semester, cut back on other activities. I’m really active in political stuff going on around my city, and i’m on a leadership team for an organization that does that kind of stuff. I’ve let the team know that I’m not going to be participating, going to meetings, or ANYTHING for the next two weeks while my semester gets started. The reasons for this are many – it helps you get used to the pace of all your classes without being stressed out by other things, it helps you reorganize your priorities and put school first, and it also helps you build credit with your professors, so down the line if you’re having problems (like ‘oh SHIT i forgot this homework’ or ‘FUCK i don’t understand this project i need an extension’) they’ll be more likely to help you out, because they know you’ve been putting the effort in.
4. try out something new organizationally
if you’re like me, keeping track of assignments is really difficult. I lose papers all the damn time. So this semester I’ve bought one of those accordion file thingies – so I can keep all my papers in one place, while still having them separate and organized. Just remember, the strategy is only one part, but you’re responsible for sticking to it and making it work.
so there ya have it, friends. you’re ready to start this ‘recovery semester’ off with a bang. you can do it, and so can I!
aniexty attacks aren't always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth
Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:
•Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability
•Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change.
•Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words.
•Not talking at all.
•Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out.”
Understanding the way our or others anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help calm a person faster and get them out of that state. There are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.
i don't know who else knows this but for fellow Undertale players, if you play the Pacifist Route first and then the Genocide Route like I did, but you still want everyone to have a happy ending, here's what you do. (see under the cut)
when you're done with your Pacifist Route, copy your game files into a separate folder. they'll be used later.
when you're done with the Genocide Route, there will be a new file in there. right click on that file and go into properties. there should be a tab that lets you choose whether or not your computer "reads" that file. make sure that's disabled.
once you're sure the computer is not reading the corrupted file (you can tell by reopening the game if you still see Chara or not), delete your save files and replace them with the Pacifist Route files you saved earlier. once your reopen the game, Flowey should show up again asking what you're doing there since everyone already got their happy ending.
are we above consequences? no, but the happy little pixelated characters don't deserve to suffer from our hubris. (which i mean the bad route could've just been avoided but I needed to beat Sans at least once.)
Happy playing!
